@TheSaint Coolio have you gotten a respawns for GT yet? If you go there you'll be pretty close to where I live.

Well actually I have NO idea    Does it matter if it's still YEARS away? I first need to figure WHAT I want to be.

Programmerrrrr!!!!!!

I had to do this college-picking test in school the other day for this career thing. The only one that fit all of the criteria I picked on my test was UMass. I don't know about that though...

I'd like to go to Annapolis, but I don't think my grades would be good enough and my Dad says I just wouldn't fit in.

I'm probably gonna go through ROTC at Texas A&M, University of Texas, or Texas Tech.

I never thought about any colleges.

lol thatd suck


I'm seriously thinking about the animation department though....

You're a great drawer, so that'd be OK.

lol all my art on scratch is my WORST art. I draw 100 times better in real life >.>

but anyways being an artist is too risky because its hard to sell art if your not famous and dead so animation would be okay

ohh

Yeah.

i want to go to Harvard.

I do not know

Maybe MIT

But it is on the other side of the country so I might not go

To everyone who wants to go to MIT:


Just know that you either have to be a student with excellent grades, leadership ability/potential, and really high scores on the SAT/ACT, or have rich parents that will donate lots of money to the school. You'll really have to be a serious, consistant student starting in middle school, and especially during high school.

Also know that, contrary to popular belief, grades do not outweigh the SAT/ACT when you send in your resume. Steady, high grades make the difference 

Hmmm people here want to be programmers and animators which makes sense since that what Scratch is used for. Here is my opinion on these jobs.

I've taken some job prospect info from  http://www.bls.gov/

Animator: I think that is best to get a degree for general art rather than animation.  If you want to do animations specifically than the job prospects are not so good. Most cartoon animation jobs are being transferred to workers from other countries. However despite this there is increasing demand for people doing 3D computer animation and people who can create images for promotional items.

Programmer: Since technology is growing so quickly there will be increased demand for people with these skills. People who are Software Engineers will have very good job prospects while people who are Computer Programmers will see a decline in job prospects. Many companies hire programmers from other countries since the work is easy to transfer. Also worth mentioning is that Math is super important for getting the required degrees so if you are bad at math then you will have a hard time.

TL;DR version: Animator jobs are not doing well, specialize in something else art related. Software Engineers will be in high demand and Programmer demand will go down.

I am doing my second year of uni for Business Administration. Most of my friends are at University to become software engineers.
